Description
CAM ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH POLE CLIMBING
FALL RESTRICTION DEVICE
BACKGROUND
1. FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to pole climbing equipment, and more particular to assemblies that assist in preventing a person from falling while ascending or descending a pole.
FALL RESTRICTION DEVICE
BACKGROUND
1. FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to pole climbing equipment, and more particular to assemblies that assist in preventing a person from falling while ascending or descending a pole.
2. BACKGROUND OF ART
[0002] Pole fall restriction devices are well known in the art. The assemblies typically comprise a pole strap that is adapted to wrap around the pole, a front strap or lanyard that connects to both the pole strap and the user's body harness and wraps around the front of the pole nearest the user, and adjustment hardware for adjusting the effective length of the pole strap and lanyard. When a user begins ascending or descending a pole, he or she will grab a hold of the pole strap near one end, while making any necessary adjustments to the effective length of the straps with the other hand. When actually ascending or descending, the user will hold the ends of the pole strap and move it up or down while hitchhiking up or down the pole.
[0002] Pole fall restriction devices are well known in the art. The assemblies typically comprise a pole strap that is adapted to wrap around the pole, a front strap or lanyard that connects to both the pole strap and the user's body harness and wraps around the front of the pole nearest the user, and adjustment hardware for adjusting the effective length of the pole strap and lanyard. When a user begins ascending or descending a pole, he or she will grab a hold of the pole strap near one end, while making any necessary adjustments to the effective length of the straps with the other hand. When actually ascending or descending, the user will hold the ends of the pole strap and move it up or down while hitchhiking up or down the pole.
[0003] To adjust the length of the pole strap wrapped around the pole, the climber manipulates a spring-biased cam. When in its neutral condition, the cam securely grips and retains the webbing from which the pole strap is composed. To alter the effective length of the pole strap, the climber must manually overcome the spring-bias of the cam such that it no longer engages the webbing, thereby permitting the webbing to slide freely through the cam. Once the desired alteration to the effective length of the webbing is achieved, the climber can release the cam thus permitting the bias of the spring to forcibly close the cam into securely engaged relation with the webbing.
[0004] While the spring biased cam is an effective tool for adjusting the pole strap, its manipulation by a climber is not easy. The climber is suspended above the ground, supported only by a harness and the fall prevention assembly. While having to hold the pole strap with one hand, the other hand is then used to overcome the spring bias and then slide the pole strap to the desired position. The simultaneous manipulation of several items, while suspended and balancing oneself relative to a pole requires ample training and skill.
3. OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
3. OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
[0005] It is therefore a principal object and advantage of the present invention to provide a cam assembly that includes levers to assist the climber in overcoming the spring bias and adjust the pole strap.
[0006] Other objects and advantages will in part be obvious and in part appear hereinafter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] Referring now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout, there is seen in Figure 1 a pole climbing fall prevention assembly designated generally by reference numeral 10, comprising a pole strap 12, a lanyard 14 (see Figure 2), a cam assembly, designated generally by reference numeral 100, through which pole strap 12 passes and is connected, and a connector (e.g., carabineer) 16 interconnecting cam assembly 100 to lanyard 14. Pole strap 12 is composed of a length of webbing (made of nylon, leather or other pliable but durable material).
[0022] Cam assembly 100 will be referred to hereinafter as a "web grab" as that is indicative of the function it serves (i.e., grabbing a web of material). Web grab 100 comprises a cam 102 pivotally connected to a base 106, and a pair of opposed sidewalls 108/110 formed on opposite sides of base 106. Cam 102 connects to base 106 by a spring 112 that is coiled within cam 102 and bolt 114 that passes through sidewall 108 and spring 112 and serves as the pivot axis for cam 102 relative to housing 104. Spring 112 naturally biases cam 102 into engaged relation with base 106; in order to separate cam 102 from base 106, thereby creating a space through which pole strap 12 can pass, one must manually overcome the spring force and pivot cam 102 away from base 106. Once the manually applied force is removed, spring 112 will bias cam 102 back into engaged relation with base 106 - or pole strap 12 (assuming it is passed between cam 102 and base 106). When pole strap 12 is passed between cam 102 and base 106, cam 102 will secure the positioning of pole strap 102 in place until the bias of spring 112 is manually overcome, thereby permitting the pole strap to be moved/adjusted relative to web grab 100.
[0023] Web grab 100 is connected to lanyard 14 by connector 16.
Connector 16 is removably attached to cam 102 by passing the leg of connector 16 through an eyelet 115 formed through cam 102. Connector 16 also includes an eye 18 through which lanyard 14 passes. The weight of a climber to whom the lanyard 14 is tethered creates a pulling force that causes cam 102 to remain securely engaged with pole strap 12.
To adjust pole strap 12 the climber must permit some slack to be formed in lanyard 16.
Connector 16 is removably attached to cam 102 by passing the leg of connector 16 through an eyelet 115 formed through cam 102. Connector 16 also includes an eye 18 through which lanyard 14 passes. The weight of a climber to whom the lanyard 14 is tethered creates a pulling force that causes cam 102 to remain securely engaged with pole strap 12.
To adjust pole strap 12 the climber must permit some slack to be formed in lanyard 16.
[0024] To assist a climber with overcoming the spring bias, web grab 100 further comprises a pair of levers 116/118 securely attached to sidewalls 108/110, respectively, by bolts or other conventional fastening means. A directional indicator 120 is printed on levers 116/118 to assist the climber in immediately knowing which way to move the lever in order to overcome the spring bias and cause separation between cam 102 and pole strap 12. Web grab 100 could be equipped with only a single lever instead of two, but providing the two levers permits either side of the web grab 100 to be accessed depending on the orientation of web grab 100 relative to the climber. Levers extend outwardly away from web grab 100 to provide a moment arm that minimizes the amount of force needed to be applied to the lever in order to overcome the spring bias. In addition, a non-slip, brightly colored covering 122 is applied over the ends of levers 116/118 to make it both more comfortable and easier for the climber to see and use.
